Amazon Leadership Principles - Dive Deep

In a recent project, I noticed our data processing pipeline was slower than expected. I independently analyzed the logs, identified a bottleneck in the database queries, and proposed an indexing strategy. After implementing the fix, query times improved by 40%, significantly reducing overall latency. We collectively decided to roll out the change gradually to monitor impact. This approach ensured stability and allowed quick rollback if needed. What is the disqualifier in this answer?
